Join art historian Jo McLaughlin as she delves into the wonderful world of art history in a fun and accessible way Jo’s aim is to begin breaking down the elitism which surrounds the subject of art history and believes in order to do so, it’s important to create a space where everyone from all walks of life have the opportunity to talk about art that is meaningful to them; as let’s face it, if you are passionate about something, you are going to be good at talking about it! Painting, sculpture, architecture, jewellery, ceramics, design – no subject is off-limits on Jo’s Art History Podcast.

episode 17: 17. The Original Bridgerton - William Hogarth's Marriage A-La-Mode
It’s Episode 17 and if you, like the rest of the world, have fallen in love with Bridgerton - THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU.
Join me as I take you on an in-depth tour of the first ever depiction of a Bridgerton style marriage drama series in the form of William Hogarth’s Marriage A-la-Mode.
This six part series has it all!!
Love, loss, money and betrayal!
It’s very messy with a very serious warning - when you marry for anything other than love, no good can come of it.
Let me introduce you to Hogarth’s characters of Earl Squander-field, the slippery Silver-tongue lawyer and the beautiful, yet not so innocent, Countess Squander-field!
This series is jam packed full of clues and symbols which tell the viewer the story behind the canvas. And I mean it when I say jam packed.
So, who is the innocent party? Are these two victims of their father’s plans or does this series stand as a warning to all who marry for money and not love?
